We asked about Lurch, the resident turkey vulture, who was not in attendance. The handler said he doesn't go outside when it is below 40F. That guy is my spirit animal. He is 35 years old, and they say birds of that type can reach 50 years in captivity.
Freezing cold in Pueblo, so my 34:19 five miler wasn't my best, but it was good enough to pick up another cheap win. There was a female leading the race for the first mile, and she ended up second overall in just over 36 minutes. That's two wins in December. I should probably switch my focus on beating GZ at Pikes and instead worry about taking down Killian. Not sure why this race doesn't get any fast runners. A few weeks earlier their is a half marathon in this same location and guys always run sub 80 minutes, with the course record being sub 70. Here I was able to crush the field running seven minute miles.
Here's $100 approaching the finish. She has started training for the New Orleans half marathon, hoping to finally crack two hours for that distance.
